An app we like to use for our speech & language groups is called Make Dice. Make Dice allows a user to customize words/messages on all sides of a die, then roll the die by simply shaking the iPad/iPod or pressing a button. The user can create/use one to multiple dice needed for a given activity. Dice & table color can also be altered to differentiate between activities. The speech-language pathologists like to use it to work on: Vocabulary, Prepositions, Antonyms, Synonyms, Plurals/Irregular Plurals, Adjectives, Combining Words into grammatically correct sentences & of course Articulation!
